Mystery Jets
Two Doors Down
Review by Joanne Conlon
Mystery Jets have always been a tad on the peculiar side; the ramshackle sounds of their debut album ‘making dens’, a line up including a dad and the erratic twists and turns of songs like ‘Alas Agnes’. But alas, with the release of new album ‘21’ – signifying their growth and coming of age - it appears they’ve had a bit of a re-think. They’ve lost the old bloke and also produced one of the catchiest pop songs of the year with ‘Two Doors Down’!
There’s no getting around the root of the song, which, like the rest of ‘21’, clearly embraces all things eighties. But ‘Two Doors Down’ has something a bit more special about it. The idea is simple: ‘I think I’m in love with the girl who lives two doors down’, the tune is pop perfection, inspired by glossy eighties production and bringing to mind a montage of the kind of films that leave you feeling all warm and nostalgic: 3 men and a baby, The Goonies, Big…pure eighties cheese! With a wham-esque video to match and plenty of ‘oooohs’ and ‘aaaahhhs’ to sing along to, Mystery Jets have armed us with the ideal anthem to tackle all dance floors, summer bbqs and just have downright fun with!
